2 amps and remote wire.

I currently have one amp hooked up. I will be hooking up another amp in about 2 weeks from now. So my question is about the remote wire. Can I just connect a wire from one amp to the other?? I already have the remote wire from the deck going to amp#1. So the questions is, whether I can simply just connect a wire going from amp#1 to amp#2??

I believe I think I can, but I'm not 100% sure, and that's why I'm asking.

TIA, Phu.

The only problem you might run into is your deck not having enough voltage to turn the amps on, depending on the deck and the amps. If it doesn't work then you will need to run your remote turn on from your deck into a relay with a good source of 12V B+.

I had the same problem with my pioneer 680MP, nothing a relay couldn't fix.

Alright, hopefully it'll work with a relay, because I have no clue what that is. I just googled it, and it seems simple enough.

I might need some help on to how to hook up a relay though. I've never seen one, and I don't know what I would do with one. Its probably pretty simple, but I've never seen one before.

Anyways, if I need a relay, I'll post it up. For now, I'm hoping it works without one.

Thank you everyone for their advice.
